We have a cleaning team and they actually love cleaning the  
commonhouse as a team. They protest when some members want  
professional cleaning. They clean every other Saturday morning from  
10-12. I think one member comes in when everyone is gone to mop the  
kitchen and corridors.

I do think we need a professional floor person to come in twice a year  
to do a deep cleaning. We've rented machines but I think a  
professional could do better.

You really do have to have people who like cleaning, however.
